Virginia-born, LA-based multidisciplinary artist, Kate Bollinger makes her Australian live debut this summer.
The 'Yards/Gardens', 'Untitled' and 'A Couple Of Things' hitmaker will headline shows in Fremantle, Melbourne, Brisbane and Sydney in January.=
An artist who has toured with the likes of Faye Webster, Tennis, and Devendra Banhart, as well as collaborating with Drugdealer on 2022 track 'Pictures Of You', last year Kate released her debut album 'Songs From A Thousand Frames Of Mind'.
Set to release a deluxe edition of that record, reworking each song from fresh angles, Kate has released 'Lonely (Virginia Strings Version)', a lush reimagining of the original featuring a sweeping string section.
"I wanted to make some more kind of home-recorded versions of the songs," Bollinger says. "Bring them closer to what they were when I first wrote them."
Kate also features on the new Cut Copy album 'Moments', sharing vocals with Dan Whitford on the track 'Belong To You'. "The song has a wistful romantic quality to it so we thought it could be cool to do the song as a duet to emphasise that," Dan says.
"Around the time we were working on this song, a friend introduced us to Kate Bollinger who is an amazing LA singer and songwriter. So we asked her to try a little vocal idea and that’s how the song took shape.
"When I heard Kate's voice in the track it sounded amazing. I could almost imagine it as some kind of sci-fi country love song, so to bring that energy to it, we asked 'Evil' Graham Lee (from legendary Australian band The Triffids) to provide his signature pedal steel sound.
"And that was the final piece of the puzzle that gave the song its magical finishing touch. Cut Copy hasn't worked with outside performers too many times in the past, but it was a real treat to work with two artists that come from such different places musically, but complemented each other perfectly on this song."
Tickets on sale from 10am (local time) on 7 October.
